Who uses Slideshare or Scribed.com?

I began creating visual essays in the late 1990s and started posting them on the www.tutormentorexchange.net website around 1999.  These were in PDF format and I had no way of knowing how many people read them, so I started putting them on Scribd.com and Slideshare.com in 2011. At that time they were to separate companies with different display formats. They have been one company for the past few years.

Each month I look at the stats and record the number of views each presentation receives. That has shrunk quite a bit over the past few years.

Here's the latest presentation that I put on Scribd.com

My 30-Year History of Reach... by Daniel F. Bassill

I created this in early 2024 and so far it's not recorded many views.

Here's one of the first presentations that I put on Slideshare. It shows the learning and networking strategy that I've piloted since 1993.

   

Tutor/Mentor Learning Network Strategy Introduction from Daniel Bassill

These are two of about 60 presentations on each platform.  Many are duplicates since I was posting on two different platforms with different display features when I started putting these on line.

So my question is, are you viewing presentations, from anyone, on these platforms?  Are you posting your own presentations on one or both of these?  Is there another platform that you post to more often?

I keep my content on Scribd and Slideshare, and updated, because I believe it only takes one person, from anywhere in the world, to view my ideas and want to embrace them and support them with time, talent and a lot of dollars.

I originally put my visual essays on this page.  It sill has many presentations that I've not shared on Scribd or Slideshare, so I encourage you to skim through the list.  

For a few years I featured the link to the Scribd and Slideshare pages, but as I began to see more advertising embedded into these sites, making them less reader friendly, I created a new page with most of my visual essays.  You can find it here.

I've also created a page with my collection of videos, created by interns who have worked for me, and by myself.  Here's one.

 

As I said earlier, it only takes one person to see these and want to use their own time, talent and dollars to share the ideas and make the strategy come alive in many cities, including Chicago.

My dream is that one day you could go to the website of a university and/or a high school, and find pages with collections of visual essays and videos, with exactly the same content and purpose as what I've created, but re-built and updated by students, volunteers and professionals.

Does such a page exist in your community? Share the link in the comments section or on social media. You can connect with me on many platforms. Open this page to find links to each. 

Thanks for reading my posts, and for sharing them with others.
